I follow you on Facebook and have just started reading your blog. I love your inspiration and ideas on using thrift ed items. Any recommendations on where to find (in general) the best thrift stores? Is it town/area specific or is it really hit and miss, going to every store?

Thanks!

Wow. you know I want those. Very regal. It will be an intimate dinner party with just four. Or I will mix them. Hmmm. Seems you can be bribed with my husband's grandma Winnie's potato salad.

Mr. GWH, you inspire me so much! I love seeing you on the Nate show. Perfect pair, you two! Didn't I see these Bee rings on the Nate show on one of your segments? I found a super modern chair in the trash yesterday, and I have big plans to recover it. I've never recovered anything, but I'm feeling empowered after watching your makeovers! :-) One man's trash, another man's treasure!

Laura Cowell said...

Home is where my family is. Sometimes home is in Hawaii, Chicago, California, DC, Florida and beyond. Home is more than the couch I own or the rug I walk on or the walls that I decorate. Home is where my family is and whenever I meet up with any of them I instantly feel at peace and at home.

Molly Alexander said...

those are great! thanks for the giveaway

Carol D. said...

clgoodson said...

Rashon, I love reading your blog and seeing what beauty you can create with thift store finds. You are so talented! My home is a mixture of family antiques, thrift store finds and garage sale treasures, including many Napoleonic Bee items. I hope to add these beautiful bees to my home. If you ever find yourself in Oklahoma City, look me up and I'll show you all the great thrift stores in town.

manicmom said...

Man...Mr.GWH:
It's sooo unfair that some cities have a HUGE Salvation Army store like the one you were just in last week on Nate's show!!
You'd think Portland, Oregon would have one of those, by now...
N E way love, love, love what you do!!!
A huge fan out west

mlarcher1 said...

Thanks for the refinishing tips! It was helpful that you included your favorite products as I usually stand befuddled at the store unsure of what is best!!

Jody said...

You are an inspiration to thrifty people everywhere! LOVE your work and would LOVE you to come help me decorate my living room. Recently purchased my 1st home and am struggling with the living room. Would like the decor to be Vintage/Antique with Mediterranean/Spanish accents. The space is approximately 21ft long x 14ft wide although not all of it is 14ft wide (staircase cuts in). If you can't come maybe you can send me some ideas! Anything would be helpful. By the way I love the Bee napkin rings what a conversation piece!

Mr. Goodwill Hunting you are so great,
I saw you on a show called "Nate".
You are really terrific at what you do,
Magically turning something old into something new.
So bumblebees go and build your hive,
While I hope and wait for you to arrive.
You will not be considered as pests,
You will be displayed beautifully as I entertain guests.

Traci said...

Would love these on my table.

Thanks.

I love me some bees. Those babies are going into a shadow box with a picture of you next to them! I don't play poker, but I believe that would be a great poker hand- 4 queens and Prince Rashon! I'm sending positive thoughts your way and I'll upgrade you to King when you get your own TV show!

cavmom said...

Growing up in the '50's wearing second-hand clothes or getting "used stuff" really stigmatized us. As an adult however, I consider this "early training" in the fine art of thrifting, and am light years ahead of my friends in these arts. They're constantly amazed that I can blast thru a "junk shop" and come up with some gem. You obviously "get this" and I love reading your blog! Thanks.

Lisa said...

I now follow you on twitter. I would love the bees!
